Early video footage on YouTube is available. Not a lot of information has been released other than it's a raid and it centers around the new Mantid Race in Mists. Will update as information emerges.

The Mantid raid of MOP. It has 6 bosses.

Suprisingly enough, despite the name, there is a boss in Terrace of Endless Spring named "Sha of Fear" that may or may not be scarier than this place is.

Comment by Tithanas

You need to clear all bosses in Mogu'shan Vaults raid to be able to zone in to this raid.

Edit: This might be outdated as people without normal Mogu'sha Vaults clear was able to enter Heart of Fear. One thing needs to be checked, though. Can people without normal OR raid finder clear of Mogu'shan Vaults enter Heart of Fear? If so, then we can "out of date" this post.

And instead of downvoting, please use "out of date". Because this information was true as of posting.

Check out this android app: WorldofLootCraft. It has the most updated information on instances and loot.

yes, these mobs do drop epics, but so far the only thing we got out of it were patterns, i have no confirmation if actual gear or trinkets drop.

things to note about the trash, the supplicants have random aggro tables so you need to stack for these, because of their quantity, i dont think these mobs can drop epics.

the last trash pull in the room before the boss, i think also needs to be pulled off to one of the side platforms, the first time we pulled this pack we ended up pulling the boss and wiping, moving them to a side platform helped prevent this.

also the supplicants in the last room seem to evade if you tank them on stairs.

i will update this if we end up getting an epic to drop, AND if its 489 or 496 IL.

No ranged or two handed weapons in the entire raid. That makes only MSV weapons available for progression into ToES (when released). Quite lame.

Comment by DaftpunkExodar

I solo tanked a trash run with 4 other people earlier and 496 healing leather bracers dropped. The trash is simple if you have a group that can CC at right time and stack up. Tank must make good use of their cool downs.

Heart of Fear is also known as the buggiest raid ever.

...I'll let myself out.

Comment by DerajtheOrc

I was hoping they would do more with this raid, maybe end with a cinematic or incorporate the Klaxxi more into the raid. After all they were the ones who wanted to overthrow the Empress. Kind of disappointing, but what can we do.

Comment by alpanhell

The thing I really hate about this zone is not one single mention of Klaxxi throughout the whole zone. Not one. Just pathetic really.

I spent this whole time doing all these Klaxxi dailies and quests, reading this story line and get to where it's supposed to "end" and nothing.

Should Heart of Fear be on the LFR pulldown menu? With iLevel 470 and:

Guardians of Mogu'shanThe Vault of MysteriesThe Dread ApproachNightmare of Shek'zeer

all available and completed, there is no raid called "Heart of Fear" listed. Terrace of Endless Spring is gray, due to "not completed required achievement," which many websites say requires HoF achievement. How might one LFR HoF if it's not on the LFR list? The goal is to get into Terrace of Endless Spring, but can't seem to LFR HoF to open it?

It doesn't seem to be possible to solo this. On any mode but 10-man normal, Zor'lok has an ability that gradually kills or nearly kills one raid member which he can cast twice in a row, and even on 10-man the mobs with Mel'jarak have a permanent paralyze that someone else has to break you out of.

One DPS and one healer should be able to crash right through, of course.

Encounters

Garalon – It may be time to reconsider stepping on bugs. Don't make fun of this hulking behemoth's tiny wings; that'll just make him angry.

Amber-Shaper Un'sok – Eager to please his empress, Un'sok has produced several innovative concoctions. Yet this brilliant young alchemist's proximity to the mantid queen has allowed the sha's negative energies to take root in his mind. Now, Un'sok's overwhelming fear of failure drives him to create increasingly deadlier weapons.

Wind Lord Mel'jarak – Wind Lord Mel'jarak commands the mantid's numerous aerial forces. Although he exudes arrogance, the cunning insectoid is fiercely protective of his soldiers and enjoys fighting at their side. Mel'jarak believes the mantid are superior to all other races, convinced that his kind cannot be defeated.

Grand Empress Shek'zeer – The ancient Klaxxi order has come to a mournful decision: the tainted grand empress Shek'zeer must be deposed. Traditionally, mantid rulers are displaced in their old age by a carefully chosen successor. However, Shek'zeer's intended replacement is still too young and weak to unseat her, leaving the Klaxxi with no choice but to kill the current empress. If action is not taken against her soon, all of Pandaria may crumble before the mantid's ravenous swarms.

Blade Lord Ta'yak – Ta'yak is known for his patience and intelligence. In battle, he is a master at discovering his opponent's weaknesses and awaiting the perfect opportunity to strike. Ta'yak's skill with a blade is unmatched, and he cherishes imparting his martial knowledge on young mantid warriors.

Imperial Vizier Zor'lok – Zor'lok shrieks his proclamations so they're heard throughout the sprawling mantid palace. He is the Voice of the Empress, and his words alone inspire the insectoid race's warriors to give their lives without question. Unwaveringly loyal, Zor'lok will stop at nothing to defend his beloved matriarch, regardless of the corruption within her.
